We know that we abide in Christ, Because He gave us His Spirit; And in us Jesus has enticed, Through the faith and our merit. For we have seen and testify, That the Father has sent His Son; As a means for to justify, In believing what He has done. Whoso concedes Him as the Son, God will also abide in Him; And the Father will never shun, Ensuring them spiritual vim. We have come to know and believe, The love that the Father has for us; Through the blessings that we receive, His love is flowing down as thus. God is love and whoso abides, God abides in us with His love; Love within perfected and guides, With the confidence from above. It gives boldness come Judgment Day, As He is also are we here; As long as we trust and obey, In love there will never be fear. Fear not since perfect love casts out, It has to do with punishment; Because fear will bring on a doubt, Which causes your strife and torment. If you fear, love is not perfect, He first loved us so then we love; And if you stray then you neglect, As many doubts will come thereof. If you say you love the Father, You are considered a liar; If you have despised your brother, His love is not your desire. This commandment we have from God, Whoso loves God must love his neighbor; For the Father honor and laud, His Spirit will help through your labor.
